Glad i came yesterday here is queue outside Savanakhet consulate at 7 30 this morning and guess another 50 or so in coffee shop doing copies

Chaeng Wattana was absolutely heaving yesterday. Got there at 10am and didn’t leave until 6.30pm. Almost 200 people ahead of me for an Ed Visa extension. Try to wait until we’ll after Songkran if you can.

This was at the Thai consulate in Vientiane, Laos at 10.30 this morning (while yours truly walked out with his number)...at least 1000 applicants turned up but it was well organised by the consulate staff and everyone was well behaved (even Russian visa applicants). The cool morning helped.

Heads up members in Chiang Mai;

The immigration office that is currently at Promenada Mall is moving to their new building at the airport on the 24th of this month. (OR at least that's what it seems the immigration office is saying).

Hi again,

Just got my work permit but have to ask for extension in Chiang Mai and I will be doing it on the last day of the visa.

I have heard lots of stories about queuing. Is it the same for all visas? I am Non O volunteer. What time will i need to be there to be guaranteed I see someone?

I don't mind waking up very early of course. Is there an agency i can use. Cost is not an issue at all.

Thanks
